Eye cream for your future
Eyes are the windows to the soul and the biggest age give away . These are the products to solve that problem
Brigit Grant is the Jewish News Supplements Editor
As we hurtle towards the next decade, it’s time to assess the damage of the past ten years to our minds and bodies.
The iPad(2010) Snapchat(2011) and Hoverboard(2013) have kept us sedentary or on crutches and we are fatter in spite of the veganism trend (2012) and the sugar tax (2018).
Upcoming Chanukah donuts won’t help, but chubby faces look younger. Fortunately the decade has given us more age-defying beauty products and with more to come, by 2030 we will look younger than we do now.
Remember age is most visible around the eyes, so invest in good creams and lift those peepers.

Intensely hydrating for tired puffy peepers, the formula contains EPS Seafill, a wrinkle-filling marine ingredient and Escin, an antioxidant that holds collagen and elastin in the skin.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.

Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.

In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
